1968. A time of division. A time of civil unrest. A time of war.

Tom Reece, a SEAL operator attached to the highly classified and shadowy MACV-SOG, is about to be thrust into a bloody battle.

A spy ship, the USS Pueblo, is captured by communist forces off the coast of North Korea. The crew thought they had destroyed everything of intelligence value. They were wrong.

As teams of special operators infiltrating into Laos, Cambodia, and North Vietnam disappear without a trace, an ambitious Soviet advisor launches an ingenious plan with consequences that reach far beyond the battlefields of Southeast Asia, one that will forever alter the world balance of power.

From the Kremlin to the White House, from the streets of Saigon to the rugged A Shau Valley, along the paths of Ho Chi Minh Trail and into the secret war in Laos, Tom Reece has an official mission assigned by Military Assistance Command, Vietnam-Studies and Observations Group, but it’s his unofficial mission that might get him killed.

Fabulous historical Fiction

The amount of research is fantastic. Enlightening & entertaining. The real deal, nitty gritty & sad. As portrayed, the politics overrides good sense.

SOG… a story needs to be told in a more detailed homage through the cinematic medium

Cry havoc was beautifully written

Great research and relevance. As always, Jack Carr is the foremost master at weaving a tale filled with espionage, war, bravado and suspense. All intertwined in accurate historical context and relevant descriptions of equipment and weaponry. Now we know that James Reese is a chip off the ol' block. Ray Porter was outstanding as always.

MACV-SOG

I always like Ray Porter and I now will read all the Jack Carr books.

Endless lists and obvious thought bubbles

Endless lists of specs, products and clinical descriptions of the causal results of violent action takes over the narrative. Pair that to some kind of literal thought bubbles that states everything a little too obvious, the novel is transformed to something just slightly more thrilling than looking over a set of excel sheets. His books has steadily lost quality with each release, ”Jack Carr” needs to get another co-writer on board.
